all information I have, is posted above. When I can get my eyes on more information, I will get it passed along to the Z community asap. So please be patient if your questions are not answered right away.
ICS will be used for dialing the speed control and steering servo.

Or if the new mini-z 2.4 module for the new Ko Propo radio will work in the helios ex-10. The photo's show a new radio that looks like it has the mars foot print.
Tell KoPropo guys are asking if they should hold off buying a ex-10 or not.

trying to answer....
from the info given above
a1:
Tire Diameter: (F)23.5mm (R)27mm
Tire Width: (F)9mm (R)12mm
and the pic... the front wheel/rim does look smaller (measured it with a ruler hahaha) although i may be wrong...
usually rear and front rims/tires are of different sizes in the real le mans cars too...
btw... tire/rim sizes (from kyosho mini-z vol.2 optional parts list)
diameter of racing rims is 20mm while the tire diameter is 25mm
diameter of classic rims is 17mm while the tire diameter is also 25mm
classic rims are the type of rims you can find on the shelby cobra427,lamborghini jota, ferrari 512bb and the porsche 934...
a3:
from the info given above Width: 78mm... i don't know if it's the body width or the track width... so assuming it's the track width... i am taking an educated guess (again i may be wrong) that the rear diff may be a bit wider than the mr02... not sure if it is as long as the f1 diff though...
also the kyosho mini-z vol.2 optional parts list states that the widest track width is on the lamborghini jota at 76mm which has an offset of 3mm per rim (the parts list didn't list the track width of the enzo so i wonder...)
anyway i'm thinking having a rear offset of 4mm (on a mr02 diff will give us a track width of 78) might be too much and make the rim pretty susceptible or prone to breaking... besides from the picture in another thread, it visually looks wider...
i wonder if professor tim can confirm my answers, don't worry, i'm not in a hurry...

All KO Modules are pretty much interchangeable now. I wouldn't see why a new one wouldn't work with the old transmitters. I use an AD band module for Helios on my Mars R. THe Spektrum module is also for use with Mars/Helios as per Horizon hobby.
Either way, I'm finally getting a new Transmitter (EX1 Ur) hehehe! I hated the Helios case! Just too big for my hands.

hmm... selling the car alone with the "Transmitter: KT-18 (Sold Separately)" will probably be a really good idea... that way one can either choose to purchase the kt-18 or a module that will hopefully come out soon as well...
i'm thingking if you can swap out the old mr01/02 board with the newer 2.4ghz board... and how much would that cost?
but on the other hand it might be cheaper to get a 2.4ghz chassis kit if and when kyosho does have it in the offering....
